Possibly a dangerous site?

While my friends were over, they went onto my computer and went on this site called "Omegle.com". This site is like chatroulette, where you announymously talked to strangers through chat. Now, my friends being the idiots they are, entered some weird tags, and started saying weird stuff to mess with some people. I became worried because they were on my computer and I didn't want anything bad to happen. I googled to try and figure out if this site was dangerous. Some people said that other could hack others, and others said there was no possible way. Could someone verify? My mac's FireWall was on, and im on a WAP2 wireless router connection, all sharing is turned off, and i've downloaded Kaspersky Virus Scaner, and iAntivirus from the mac appstore. I've ran the virus scan on iAntivirus and it came up with zero viruses. Then I ran a quick scan, and then a full scan on Kaspersky Virus Scanner. Both scans found zero threats detected. Is there anyway to check my computer if someone did hack it? or to restore my computer that could eliminate any possible danger if there is one? Thanks in advance!

We only recommend ClamXav and Sophos as antiviruses for OS X. OS X isn't affected by Windows viruses, so I doubt that your Mac has malware. Anyway, download ClamXav and run a scan to search Windows viruses. If it doesn't detect anything, don't worry.


Also, if you want more information about OS X and viruses, see > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg

So if the scans says that it finds no threats, then it means there's no hackers, viruses, anything dangerous on my computer. No way any hacker could hide from the scan or anything like that. I'm never going back onto that site, so there's noway one could come onto my computer from that site in the future after this scan, etc. I just want to be 100% sure.

Just a quick comment about something you mentioned:

As long as you are on a trusted network behind that router which has it's own firewall, you can keep your Mac's firewall turned off. That will help speed up your network activities. Just make sure you turn it back on when you take your MBP to Starbucks or join any other public or un-trusted network. See Thomas Reed's Do I need a firewall?
